DESCRIPTION:

The course utilises a mixture of lectures and workshops to introduce metallurgical theory, metal properties and testing techniques, corrosion, metal failure and preventative actions.

Specific studies will be carried out on component failure in the oil industry. Additionally alloy systems used in the oil industry will be examined in greater depth. Reference will be made to specifications used in the oil industry.

Course Level: Foundation

Course Location: Vienna, Austria
